There are various sunsets to each of these types of crimes and charges can often be prosecuted on an incident by incident basis, which allows for the possibility of prosecutors stringing together a long list of convictions, which could put you in jail for a long time and result in large fines.

Bank Robbery

Bank robbery is always considered to be a federal crime, although many of those charged with bank robbery are tried in state courts of Florida, which can result in more lenient sentences. Bank robbery charges are often accompanied by other charges, including those involving the threat and/or use of firearms. If a firearm or a deadly weapon of any kind is used in the commission of a bank robbery, additional charges are usually filed, and, if convicted, the defendant faces a more severe prison sentence.

Homicide

Federal homicide charges are brought in the unlawful killing of a human being during a bank robbery kidnapping, or act of terrorism. Federal murder also includes instances where the victim is a federal official, or an ambassador or consul or other foreign official who is under the protection of the United States. Any crime that crosses state lines and involves murder will also bring federal charges.

The possession or use of a firearm in a federal facility, including airports, post offices, government buildings, and military bases, is a federal crime.
